Little did they know that before the sun would rise Tuesday morning, they would land what’s believed the be the first Great White Shark ever caught from the beach in Alabama.
After what had been an uneventful several hours, line began to peel off the Shimano Tiagra 130 about 4:00 a.m. It was the sound Coastal World Wide’s Dylan Wier and partner, Blaine Kenny had been waiting for.
“It one-hundred-percent took every one of us to reel that fish in,” Kenny said. “Everybody cranking and cranking and cranking until they couldn’t anymore and then, the next person would go and eventually, Dylan got in the harness and it was just like, we have to put more heat to this fish other than just the rod holder because this fish needs to come in as health as possible.”
To say the next few moments were chaotic may be an understatement. The pandemonium quickly turned to a focus on releasing the shark as fast as possible. Sixty-three seconds later, it was free to probably never be caught again.
